Excerpts from Al Sharpton's Convention Speech

"The promise of America is that government does not seek to regulate your behavior in the bedroom, but to guarantee your right to provide food in the kitchen... The issue of government is not to determine who may sleep together in the bedroom, it's to help those that might not be eating in the kitchen."

" Mr. President, you said we would have more leverage if both parties got our votes, but we didn't come this far playing political games. It was those that earned our vote that got our vote. We got the Civil Rights Act under a Democrat. We got the Voting Rights Act under a Democrat. We got the right to organize under Democrats."
